Haha MP4.

Post #199,725 by pwhysall 3/21/05 12:10:15 PM Reply	Haha MP4. Edit->Preferences->Importing->Import Using. Choose "MP3 Encoder". Have fun re-ripping your collection. MP4 == AAC == never gonna play on Linux, AFAIK.

I think the difference is that the CDs I ripped are not protected in the same way that the music I purchased from the iTunes store are, and I can play the ripped CDs but not the purchased music. But yeah, I guess that's what I have to do, heh. "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young

If I want to listen to my music collection I can just play it from there... but hey, why should I let the facts interfere with my thesis?

Plays many audio formats via plugins, e.g. AAC/MP4 with a patched XMMS plugin from ciberfred. GPAC: Osmo4, the multimedia player from the GPAC project, is also available as a Linux port since v0.1.4, being the first MPEG-4 Systems player for this OS. Furthermore it also supports aacPlus streams. IBM M4Play: Being part of the free IBM Toolkit for MPEG-4, this Java based player can both play AAC and MP4 files, even with video and MPEG-4 Systems content. The toolkit also contains two free authoring tools for MPEG-4, one being a simple file muxer and the other an advanced Systems encoder. Using a Java Virtual Machine (best results with v1.4 or newer), this toolkit runs on any platform.
